Christmas Party 2023

The venue for the Hive Cebu - Christmas Party 2023 is in Sacaan Tropical Breeze Resort, Tabunok, Sogod, Northern Cebu, Philippines. I am so thrilled because it’s my first time to visit the place. We will be having a Hawaiian-themed Christmas Party.

We arrived at around nine thirty in the morning. This is what the outside of the resort looks like.

Wow! The sea is calling. As soon as I arrived, I felt so excited to see the wonderful view overlooking the towns of northern Cebu.

We then went in. We parked our motorcycle in the designated parking area.

We also helped my mother @missbebeth unload a tray of oranges she bought for everyone.

We then went to the venue where our party is set to be celebrated. It was located at their function hall with a beachfront view. How magical. Here is what our venue looks like.

For the first order of business, once you arrive in the venue, you need to fill out the registration form and they will give you a name tag with your Hive username. At the back part of your name tag is your designated name for the exchanging gift. What an exciting twist.

I got a gift for Good Witch and I definitely have no idea who the Good Witch is. Her wishlist includes : White rubber shoes, Black Jeans or Bag. I got her a pair of black jeans.

The program then began and it was hosted by @callmesmile .

This activity really measures how creative and talented the Hivers are. We managed to prepare presentations in a short span of preparation time. We never say no to challenges. We embrace them gracefully.

For today’s Christmas party, I and @iamgagz09 are the designated Game Masters and we performed the first game which was to blow the balls using the party whistle horns.

We had two sets of players and the winners were @hanyabee and @missbebeth who both won Hive t-shirts as their prizes.

It was then time for lunch.

Foods were catered by the resort and it was a solid ten out of ten. What a sumptuous lunch we all had.

It was time to do Exchanging Gifts. But since we all have no idea who the people we are giving gifts are, or who are we receiving our gifts from, @indayclara had a fun idea for us to describe who could our manita or manito be based on their wishlist. It was so much fun doing a guessing game. We did not opened our gifts yet once we got it and we opened it altogether.

To my surprise, @indayclara was the one who got my name and I was given a strange code name which was Dream Girl.

We then had some picture-taking at the beachfront.

It was such a fun and memorable experience. Being able to meet and greet people who’ve blogs you just read, are surreal. It makes me happy to be able to socialize with these amazing people.

The fun does not end there. We then dipped in the pool. It was such a perfect way to end the day.

Have a Holly, Jolly, Christmas everyone. Ciao! ☺︎♡
